Thoughts after 1 week of ownership:
Quiet ride
Very very smooth gearbox with imperceptible gear change.
Good suspension ride for our roads
Engine pulls well but it ain’t no SDV6
Good sat nav and DAB radio actually works -Sport was always a bit hit and miss
Good seat adjustment for my dodgy back
Nice panaromic sunroof
37mpg
Feels light on the road and agile compared to bigger RRS
Lots more room under boot floor even with full size spare
Nice LED dipped light, full beam a bit crap. Might upgrade bulbs
Blind spot detection warning is very useful
Lane deviation warning should be good if tired but switched off for commuting
Has a dip stick
More to follow..... * Current: 2024 D350 Defender 90 on coils!

Select Sport mode and it shifts for sure....not quite as quick as the SDV6 but not far off....
All in all, I’m very pleased with it but would not want anything lower down on the spec list than the range topping Premium SE with the 185 diesel and auto box....  * Current: 2024 D350 Defender 90 on coils!

One of my neighbours has a 5 year old Tucson and despite quite a high mileage it still looks like new inside and out - they drive to and from their 2nd home in Portugal twice a year, however if they go in the winter they leave the car at home for 4 months and fly out. I asked if they had ever suffered a flat battery leaving the car so long without use and without using a battery conditioner - easy in their Tucson as it has a “master” fuse as well as all the others and they pull that before they go and disable everything electric so there is no battery drain! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Main beam is
Upgraded bulbs to GE 130+ ones at £35 a pair. Better but might alter beam angle to lift up a bit.
Will refit originals when car gets replaced with a new one in December  * Current: 2024 D350 Defender 90 on coils!

More feedback.
It's 4x4 mode is pretty good in the snow and I was quietly surprised at its ability in the white stuff. The same could not be said of the BMW and Audi drivers with their high revving rear wheel drive antics that brought Southampton to a stand still last night! * Current: 2024 D350 Defender 90 on coils!
